He really makes you think about a space in a different way, his designs always end up looking so cohesive overall without being matchy matchy. He also thinks about function, so it's not just style, but damn does it look so slick, stylish, warm and welcoming.

      But it did feel like interior design. All the others felt like they hade to rebuild the entire thing. Witch to me is more architecture then it is interior architecture.
      That roof is pretty. But the amount of dirt and leaves getting stuck in that slope would look awful, especially if it is a weekend cabin that can’t get the same amount of attention.
      And the woman that recentered the entire wall. As if thats a quick fix without taking away from the integrity of the support beams.
      It just didn’t feel like interior architecture, more sims fantasy

      @@juliaekeklint2428​​”they have free reign to design it, in any way they please…no restrictions, no clients, just blank space” An A frame cabin, that’s all that was limiting them. Part of the challenge was building a loft space where the original has none so it stands to reason there were no rules against architectural changes to better their design. If you end with an A frame cabin, it’s still within the restrictions. Her first comment was that there was no light in the space then she built a wall in front of the only visible light source and covered said wall in a darker tile so the space has about half the light it started with? So not only was her pure interior design lacking, even the architectural elements she added went against the needs of the space by her own claims.

    Not even one minute in and Jenny already lost me. As a designer myself, I would never call a place "uninspiring" FIRST THING!! Every place has a potential and as a designer, it is our job to identify those and excite our clients about it. The unimpressed voice she had while calling the space "not inspiring and typical" made me ick. Every house we see is a typical 4-walled houses. You don't call them uninspiring!! You appreciate the architecture, the space, the scale-anything (just like how Darren and Chiara did here) but you certainly don't look down on them.

      It quite literally was uninspiring it doesn't give off any certain vibes and its boring. Uninspiring means that something that doesn't produce excitement or interest shes not saying it won't/she thinks there is no potential she saying there could be a lot of things done to make it more inspiring because that her style. As a designer I would expect you at least know this.

    Darren really used the space for what it was worth. Great proportions. Love the poly-carbonate walls, the fireplace shape, the solar lamp, the bed section, the big couch…it all works. And he has books to read. Yay! Chiara’s is serene and functional. I really like the green, the big window wall and bed section, plus cool stairs. It’s a bit old-fashioned but nice. Jenny could have done more with the space. Very small couch for a retreat and what’s up with the kitchen? It has no sink. And no dining table. The whole place also felt a bit dark. She said she found the original space uninspiring…and I guess she didn’t get over that.

Then she blocks half the light with that tile wall and compounds it by putting the stairs there. Then she adds a super low artsy furniture that conflicts to me with the architectural structure of the space and the design of her kitchen.

    Darren, as usual, did not disappoint! I love how he reimagined the fireplace to include a seating element. I also like how he added the glass walls so that there is always some natural light to enjoy. Chirara's house was my favorite though, with the abundance of natural light, the simplicity of the loft and her choice of cozy furnishings. Her cabin looks like one that would be enjoyable for more than just a weekend. I wish I could say something good about Jenny's but unfortunately, I can't. Her modern approach to the space seemed disjointed and just out of place. Darrens was modern, yet ticked all the boxes. Jenny's seemed to be designing out of her comfort box as if she didn't fully understand the assignment. The darkness in this design was just depressing and I can't get over the fact that the one tiny light source that was available in the space, was cut in half by her adding that big island in front of it. Lackluster and depressing is how I would describe her space, a place to go when you are extremely sad and want to stay that way. I hated her space, but LOVE this series!

We were NOT asked to say which one we "hated" or provide a critique of anyone's work, especially not in a mean or rude way. Would you say that to her face? Then why say it via keyboard courage? If we keep criticizing these designers with obnoxious mean comments, this series will not last because no one wants to come on here and have their ideas shot down in a disgraceful way.

My comments were not mean or disgraceful they were honest, they were my opinion and I am entitled to give it just as much as anyone else commenting. If they did not want to know what people thought, there would not be a comment section. If they wanted to hear only good things, even if the designs were bad, then it would be a praise section, not a comment section. IF the designers are reading comments, and that is a big IF, then they will hopefully grow from what they read and be aware of the impact that their designs have. It's beneficial for them to need to know that while they may love their ideas, that they may experience harsh feedback if they try certain ones with clients. As for would I say it to her face, you don't know me, I would. I think it is better to deliver the truth with love than to lie to people just to keep getting something or just to make them feel good. I want them to do better. I want them to be aware of how their designs make me feel. If their design makes me feel sad and depressed, like the dark cave that Jenny designed in this video, I am not going to just swallow that. I am going to say how I feel. If you don't like reading honest opinions, then you probably shouldn't read the comment section, because your fear of the series not continuing is your own and it's not going to keep me from watching and giving my honest opinion, so you can take your opinion of my comment somewhere else.

    Darren's design blew it out of the water for me (as always). So much drama, coziness, and different moments. If I had the millions, I'd choose him to design my entire life.
    Chiara's design is beautiful but not really my vibe. The glass wall -- perfect. She created a beautiful canvas and then filled it with understated, bland furniture and decor. Her furniture felt small, scattered and uncoordinated compared to the scale of the cabin. The modern structure with the vintage pieces didn't mesh well. She seems to have a family in mind and left a lot of room for customization, so maybe I'm not the audience.
    Jenny...I think she is an interior decorator, not a designer. She seems to have more experience with apartments and generic living layouts, and following modern trends. This looked like it was a challenge for her and struggled to make use of what she had. She was restricting herself. She might be new to the field and definitely needs to build her own style outside of Pinterest/Instagram trends!

      Agreed.
      Darren understood the task 20/10! Good flow, cohesive, relaxing, moody and livable. Loved the ceiling!
      Chiara's interior design choices left me perplexed as well - I felt like a lot of copy-paste was happening with the 2 tables and the 2 full size sofas in the same area. Overall good work but not exciting at all.
      Jenny's is colorful. However, she did next to nothing with the space, the placement of the furniture doesn't create a good flow and is visually fragmented. It felt like a rental place filled with pieced of furniture found around that do not really match each other too well as well as the size of the space.

    @erinwhipple4666 Год назад +30

    Chiara: LOVE! Thank you, Chiara for maintaining the fireplace along a wall. Idk whose idea it was to have it just absolutely dominate the space in a single-room cozy cabin. I like that she used mostly light toned woods and white walls, but then added deeper-toned elements in the decor like that gorgeous forest green rug. The couch is adorable; the upholstery looks like eyelet lace and I’m in love with it. The kitchen is very cute and charming, but she really should have accounted for the lost cabinet space like Darren did. I also don’t see why there needs to be an additional table just to play board games on, that’s what coffee tables are for. The little wall sconces are to die for. I wish she had done something above the fireplace, like a framed painting or just some sort of wall decor. I really like this design. It’s great for someone like me who wants a cozy cabin in the woods, but isn’t really down with the whole dark and moody aesthetic.
    Darren: i know I just said that I don’t think a smaller space like this needs a giant angled fireplace that encroaches into the middle of the room, but this one does look really cool. It’s super impractical, though I mean it’s basically an open campfire inside lol. I definitely agree that the space needed more natural light, but he went a bit overboard imo, with the walls being all windowed. That lighting fixture is a really cool concept. The modern, angular sectional is phenomenal and I really appreciate the fact that it’s pink. And honestly, what’s a cabin in the woods without a bearskin rug? I think he did a great job. I hated his first design in this series but they’ve gotten better and better each time.
    Jenny: particle board? Really? That just looks like the builders got tired of doing the cabinets so they just left them unfinished. That couch looks like a worm wearing a hazmat suit. I hate it. I like that she actually closed off the loft to make it a bit cozier and more private. I’m obsessed with the green tile in the kitchen but umm…where’s the actual kitchen part? Fridge, sink, oven/stove? I just see a bunch of counter space. Also, this design in general is not giving cabin-in-the-woods but rather post modern urban chic. Overall, not my favorite.

    So I'll rank them according to my preferences...
    1st Darren's. The moment he changed the walls to polycarbonate insulated glass, it was a win for me😄 The design is warm, mystical yet has a very modern look. The fireplace is so cool. The color palette is warm and cozy.
    2nd Chiara's. The backwall brings in so much of natural light. It gives of a modern yet an aesthetic vibe. It's warm, cozy just like any cabin I would want to relax in. I love the dining and kitchen space. The color palette is neutral and bright.
    3rd Jenny's. The design's a bit mix of different color tones which sadly don't go well together. I would love the elements in the design if used in separate spaces. There's not much of a natural light which I believe is an important element for a cozy cabin. Overall, it has a room for improvement.

    Taste and preferences are such personal matters and have a lot to do with the environment we grew up in--what signifies comfort or luxury to us.
    It's pretty clear that Darren Jett (So nice to see him back!) takes the no rules thing to heart because he often seems to make the most radical changes to the original structure, which usually entails the highest cost. Not saying that $ buys style, but in the hands of a clever designer, the sky's pretty much the limit. Here, DJ blew the roof off of the cabin and took down a wall; his colleagues made more modest alterations. He really knocked it out of the park. I would pick his design (not difficult to spot) if $ were no object.

To slow my roll with him.. it's a strong POV and almost a little crowded. It's fairly masculine. The others might have a little more flexibility and space to add personal touches. I liked Chiara's glass wall and fireplace and Jenny's 'materiality' as Darren put it. Her kitchen is very appealing and usable.
